Camomile tea 'can help keep diabetes under control'”, reports the Daily Mail. A new study has suggested that “the drink lowers blood sugar levels and can help prevent complications arising from the condition, including blindness, kidney disease, and nerve and circulatory damage”, the newspaper says. These findings come from a study in rats, and Dr Victoria King, of Diabetes UK, is quoted as saying that, “More research would be needed before we can come to any firm conclusions about the role camomile tea plays in fighting diabetes-related complications.” It is far too early to suggest that camomile tea might help prevent the serious complications that can result from diabetes. People with diabetes should continue to follow their doctor’s instructions about diet, exercise and treatment and should only drink camomile tea if they like it, not in the hope that it will alleviate their diabetes. Professor Robert Nash, who lead the research, said: “It is quite fascinating, it seems to be doing a lot of different things all at once.” The study looked at the effects of the tea on the health of rats with Type 2 diabetes. Those who suffer from the disease do not make enough of the hormone insulin and so are unable to regulate properly the amount of sugar in their blood. Rats given an extract similar to camomile tea for three weeks saw the amount of sugar in their blood fall by a quarter, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports. Researchers from Aberystwyth University in Wales and the University of Toyama in Japan say that, taken with meals each day, the tea may also protect against hyperglycaemia, a potentially fatal condition caused by very high blood sugar levels. The findings could lead to the development of camomile-based drugs to treat the disease, but experts say more research is needed first.
